- Bio
- (aka Josephine Elizabeth Ortez, Josie Ortez)
I am 61 years young, a performance artist, writer and painter (oils) I live with my Dalmatian doggie
3 cats and 2 goldfish. I am happy despite my
best efforts to the contrary. I am of Native American, Mexican, German, Irish English ethnicity.
A DAKINI is a semi wrathful spirit woman from
the Tibetan Buddhism tradition who manifests in dreams, visions and during meditation.
She is the Goddess of Life's turning points, serving as instigator, inspirer, messenger and
even trickster. She transmutes suffering into
enlightened awareness.
She is often depicted as a young naked figure
in dancing pose often holding a skull cup of
the Elixir of Life in one hand and a curved
knife in the other. She may wear a garland of human skulls, her hair is wild and hangs down her back. She dances on top of a corpse, representing her mastery over ego and ignorance.
MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY!

herself?
Trey: I'm ready for my close up Mr. Montana.
Theodora: I am honored always when you stop by. Thank you.
Cindy: I just love you so much. So glad to see who you truly are.
From now on I will only use correct punctuation. (as if)
Nana: A koi pond? Now that's interesting. The mind reels. Gladly.
Sirenita: Ok! Can I be on top?
Jimenace: That mark is my third nipple. It's there for beings
in other dimensions. Really.
Lonnie: Naked frisbee any time.
Bees: I aim to please
Rich: Thank you Mr. Hunk. Where's yours?
Michael: Yeah, well, you rock mine.
this am. Off to dance madly about. It's 5:45 am, over and out.
Post inspired by DakiniDancer's gorgeous nakedity....
Thank you DD........
I have a witch's mark too....most excellent. Nice boobies.
Thou art the bravest and most beautiful of us all.
Where has that third nipple taken you? That's what I want to know.
But I'm concerned! What if this shows up when Trump picks you for Miss USA? It could ruin your chances for about five minutes!
Beautiful, but I didn't know what a witch's mark was. When I googled it, it said it is an "extra teat." Funny, I don't see a single teat in your photos, and we should see at least two, shouldn't we? :)
Pawed for such an awesome woman, :)
for me!
JK: Your beauty sparkles through as well.
Persephone13: Old School Goddess-I like that!
Denese: The third nipple is for those in other dimensions-so
that's where I go with it...
Odetteroulette: You found me out
Robin: thank you dear one.
BuffyW: what a compliment. I could say the same about you.
Gracielou: Why don't you be in the Art Film too.
Zumalicious: it's the chance I take!
Hyblaean-Julie: Thanks for nagging me. I mean that.
Dynomye: We all should bare all
dcvdickens: I resisted doing this, then it just suddenly all
came together.
Dana: Aren't I cute? I didn't actually reveal anything!
LadyMiko: thank you lovely one.
SallySwift: I think my bone structure keeps my titties on
a fairly even course.
Having a Cosmorita and toasting to you right now!!!
my drift, and I'm sure you do....
This blog is not the ideal venue for this news... her family is trying to locate her friends to inform them of her sudden, surprising departure from this life yesterday afternoon. We are especially trying to locate her long time dear friend Bonnie. There are no arrangements for a memorial yet, but we want to include her friends.
We're also trying to make arrangements for the care of her dog and 3 cats. They were like her family.
I'm so sorry to report this event in this way, but my uncle has been unable to find phone numbers.
And weeping.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
She was much loved here.
May you DakiniDance with a smile forever.
Monte
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
To her family- I am truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for thinking of us and letting us know. It was very kind of you, especially during your time of grief.

Dear Sally - I hope I don't get too much heat for this, but I think
your family soul group has a collective thing going on. For what
ever reason. You are supporting each other through it.
Deserving has nothing to do with it. I think people immediately
go to "why do I/she/we deserve this?" because we are conditioned to believe that. There has been an angry vengeful god influencing Humankind for 10,000 years, He says, "you do wrong, I punish you. You do right, you go to heaven." I simply don't buy it. I think your family Soul group is working together and facing physical issues together. I don't know why, your Soul does.
Many blessings and I send a shimmering Green Light of Health
your way.

Rest peacefully, Dakini.
like the child
carrying nothing but her smile
into eternity.
Indeed. What a performance artist she was!

this is your last personal message to me, on May 11,
Hi Laura - The Bhutan show closed yesterday ALAS
I live in Santa Rosa about a hour north of SF
I go into The City from time to time, we'll
hook up again some kind of way
Blessings
Josie
Alas. I hope we do hook up again in some kind of way. And blessings to you too, sweet friend.
I was really counting on a lot more time to get to know you. What were you thinking?
I realize you're new up there (or wherever it is you are), but could you do us a few favors, if "they" allow for such things.
Hunger - Get rid of that please, for everyone.
Ignorance - Please eliminate it.
Mean People - Say buh-bye.
Blessings upon you as you move forward into the unknown, now known to you.
Comfort to your familiy and friends, both near and far, for having known you, and hope for us all to meet again someday, somewhere.
"She transmutes suffering into enlightened awareness."
Many thanks for the gifts you gave during your physical time with us, and for those you've yet to give as you live on in our collective memory and inspire those you've left behind.
I wish you hadn't left so suddenly, but I hope that you are floating on currents of peace.
Namaste, Dakini Dancer.
Peace is with you, Dakini Dancer...
As, from what you leave behind...
it has always been.

The Memorial Service: Josie dear friends in her dance troupe are planning the memorial service. I will keep you posted. It will be in a few weeks.
More info:: Even tho Josie collapsed in the pool at the gym, she did not drown. She was pulled out of 4' of water right away. The autopsy could not find a cause of death. Very strange.
My feeling is that she was ready to graduate. She dropped the body and just walked out. You go girl!
Good news: My daughter called me 2 days after Dakini Dancer's sudden departure. She said she had a message for me from Dakini Dancer: "Tell your mom to be happy for me. I'm everywhere." My daughter said that the feeling around her was "blissful!".
I believe and feel this to be a true message. I intend honor her request and be happy for her. Iencourage you to do the same. I'm sad for myself. But the weight of my grief was lightened.
She never apologized for who she was. She didn't pretend to be something she wasn't. Even the more conserative family members (every family's got a couple of black sheep) respected her insistance on dancing to her own drummer without concern for public opinion.
What a great example! I miss her.
Thank you for writing and keeping us informed. The final message from Dakini does make this all a bit more bearable. I am glad your daughter was able to hear that message.
Your aunt was a light in dark places, offering kind and spiritual words to many of us who needed it. She was a blessing on so many lives. Thank you.

I just learned that you have changed existences.
Thank you for The Love you showed me, and
my work. This poem is for you...
Your Beauty
Your beauty is so great,
it defies words on
a piece of paper.
A pen cannot capture
what my eyes have seen.
--Mikel K
Now that you are gone I tried to do what you did so well and hopefully a few got whiff of the dancer.............................

You are missed.
